Chapter 685, the testimony of the seventh princess
"Isn't this the jade jade pendant that the emperor gave to the queen before?!" - it was Concubine Yu Haijia who spoke out.
The jade jade pendant was a gift from the governor of Yungui before, and Hongli saw that the jade color and the emerald color were bright and beautiful, so he gave it to her. And Yu Ming has always liked jadeite, and he can't put down this two-color jadeite, and he has always worn it closely.
Hao Ming couldn't help but touch his waist, there was indeed no jade pendant - just now on the Qionghua platform, as Concubine Chun said, it was indeed a mess, but I was afraid that the jade jade pendant was lost in the chaos.
Humming said: "It may be that Fang just lost it in a mess, and was picked up by the Ninth Princess." Maybe she wanted to go back and return it to her concubine, but she didn't expect it to ......"--this is the most reasonable guess, of course, it is more likely that someone took advantage of the chaos to steal her jade two-color jade pendant and stuffed it in the sleeve of the drowning ninth princess. Intention to blame her!
Thinking of this, Hao Ming couldn't help but squint his eyes, and his heart was vigilant and suddenly born! The death of the ninth princess is not so simple!!
Hongli nodded, gave her a trusting look, and said, "It's damp and cold here, let's go back to Penglai Hall first." ”
Ming nodded, turned around and was about to turn back to Penglai Palace, but saw that the little face of the seventh princess Su Le, who was the same mother as the ninth princess, was covered with shock and panic, she was so frightened that her face was colorless, and her small body was trembling.
Concubine Jia couldn't help but feel pity, hurriedly stepped forward to hold her cold little hand, and sighed: "Poor thing, Su Le usually loves his younger brothers and sisters the most, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen!"
Hongli was not too sad about the death of the ninth princess, but more angry. As for the seventh princess, Hongli has always liked this daughter, because this child is white, tender and cute, smart and sensible, and there is a bit of Xiao Jinghuan between his eyebrows. Seeing that she was so frightened that she couldn't even speak, Hongli couldn't help but show a little pity, so he said to Concubine Jia: "Go back and comfort her." ”
Concubine Jia hurriedly curtled her knees and said "yes".
Hongli let out a long sigh and was returning with a roar, but at this time, the seventh princess, who was so frightened that she couldn't speak, suddenly spoke up, and she said in a trembling and intermittent voice: "Khan Amma......! I've seen it all!!"
Hongli's footsteps froze, and he hurriedly turned around and asked, "What do you see??"
Ming's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he also looked at the seventh princess suspiciously.
However, when the seventh princess saw her, she couldn't help but tremble again, her eyes were full of fear, she trembled her hands, her white lips were also trembling, her teeth were chattering, she hurriedly shook her head, "No!!
Mo said that it was Hongli, even Concubine Jia felt unusual, and asked softly: "Good, don't be afraid! What did you see, the emperor is the master for you!"
The seventh princess looked at Concubine Jia with helpless eyes, "Concubine Jia's mother ......"
Concubine Jia was busy giving her a smile as gentle as water, "With the concubine here, what do you see, just say it." ”
The seventh princess bit her pale lip, as if she had made a great determination, she looked up at Hongli and said, "I see the emperor's mother......"
His eyebrows furrowed deeply, and his eyes were cold.
However, the words of the seventh princess did not speak, she continued: "It's Mama Xue next to Huang Eniang!!I saw her, it was she who pressed the ninth sister into the water and drowned herself!!" After saying that, she was so frightened that she fell into Concubine Jia's arms, trembling like a frightened and helpless little beast!
The seventh princess said that it was the Xue family beside her who drowned the ninth princess!!
For a while, everyone present was stunned, even the identified Xue was stunned.
Hao Ming sneered, she thought that the Seventh Duke was mainly accusing her, but she didn't expect that it was just to testify against Mama Xue!
After a few breaths, Mama Xue knelt on the beach with a puff and kowtowed repeatedly, "The slave has been serving the master and the mother, how could he go to such a place to kill the ninth princess?!!"
Hao Ming also hurriedly testified: "Mama Xue has been by the concubine's side since she landed on Penglai Island. ”
Hongli narrowed his phoenix eyes, "Didn't she leave your side even a step?" - Hongli felt in his heart that it was impossible for his young and well-behaved daughter Su Le to lie.
Yes, everyone thinks that children can't lie. That's why there is the word "fairy tales".
The seventh princess testified against Mama Xue, but Mama Xue was the most powerful person around her, and she was also a trusted confidant! If she was convicted of killing the ninth princess, I was afraid that everyone would think that she was instructed by the queen of the middle palace!!
Without waiting for Ming to answer Hongli's question, Mama Xue confessed herself: "When I was in Penglai Palace, the slave actually found that the jade jade pendant of the master Niangniang was missing, so I went out to look for it for a while. ”
Of course, Hao Ming also knew that Mama Xue would leave for a while......
Yu Ming frowned, and said, "Mama Xue likes children the most, and it is impossible for her to do such a thing." Because she can't give birth, Xue likes children very much, she loves Yan'er and Ju'er very much, and has almost unlimited tolerance and doting on children.
Therefore, Ming will never believe the words of the Seven Princesses!!
Hongli's face was cold, and he said coldly: "First take it to the Shen Criminal Division for interrogation!"
Bo Ming's eyebrows tightened, and he hurriedly said: "The interrogation of the Shen Criminal Division is nothing more than torture, what good is it to be beaten into a trick?!"
"Empress!" Hongli frowned deeply, "Aren't you worried about arousing suspicion if you defend a minion like this?!"
Yu Ming raised his head, did not avoid Hongli's cold gaze, and asked, "When the emperor said this, does he mean that he suspects that the concubine instructed Mama Xue?!"
Hongli seemed to have a helpless look, "I don't have this intention! The minions below are loyal and traitorous, and no one can expect it!"
Hongli at least still believes in her...... Hao Ming couldn't help but iron a lot in his heart, but looking at Mama Xue who was kneeling on the ground full of pleading, Hao Ming refused to give in, so he said: "The emperor suspects the Xue family because he thinks it is impossible for a child to lie! But the concubine doesn't think so!"
She did not shy away from saying such words, which made the people present shocked. It's just that no one dared to intervene in the conversation of the emperor and queen, but the seventh princess of the relevant people couldn't help but defend herself, she burst into tears: "Su Le didn't lie! Su Le really saw Mama Xue kill the ninth sister!!" As she spoke, she actually whimpered and cried, and whimpered in her mouth: "Su Le really didn't lie!"
Seeing the seventh princess crying so pitifully, Hongli couldn't help but show a little dissatisfaction, "She's only seven years old! A seven-year-old child, can she be full of lies?!!
In the face of Hongli's angry rebuke, Hao Ming fell into deep thought, how could she prove that the Seventh Princess was lying?
Ming's eyes couldn't stop looking at the body of the ninth princess who was held in Wang Qin's arms, and then patrolled around Xue's body, suddenly, she was suddenly stunned, she looked at the flowerpot bottom shoes under Xue's feet in a daze, and her inspiration couldn't help flashing.
